About Casillas, people have said for a while now that he shouldn't be the starter for Spain. Other goalkeepers, like David De Gea, have made considerable progress since the last couple of years. It's Del Bosque's fault for not making the same tough decision the Germans made regarding Kahn in 2006.

But in all honest, that scoreline actually did not quite reflect the play. Netherlands 3rd goal would be controversial for obstructing GK. The 4th was clear individual mistake. And the 5th and so on was the total collapse

Don't means to play down Netherlands win through as they had very clinical finish, and pace and intelligent runs of their forward.

But then Spain also lost the first game of last WC and won the tournament, so let's see they can climb out of this defeat. Who knows they may have a chance of revenge down the road

Chile is not gonna be a push over. And they also got home~ish advantage. If Spain not careful, they may be out at group stage.

Just realised that Netherland now can screw Spain up, by losing to Chile in their final match. Assume Australia won't be able to register a single point. It gonna be 6 points for all with Spain already -4 in GD.

If Vidal's fit Chile can actually play quite similar to the Dutch. They do have physical players and Alexis Sanchez can do the Robben role.

I don't think they'll want to risk things getting out of hand and possibly dropping to 2nd place and face Brazil.
